"If you constantly tell people that the world is horrible they will eventually believe you"
So so true :V
I’m here because of the riots. This game is so accurate.
But what if the world actually *is* horrible?
Bethany Angelov if you believe it is and always look at the negatives of life. Then it will be.
Chad Cooley
I dunno man, if people are being lynched and murdered for the color of their skin, that isn’t a good world.
Bethany Angelov I’m sorry you think that’s the case. You’re just showcasing the misinformation and cherry picking that’s in this games message.
Truly the most disturbing part was the long pause before the trigger was pulled.
The top hat man wanted to look that reformed angry man directly in the eyes, and savor the moment. He gave everyone a chance to see what he was about to do. It wasn’t just random murder. It was pleasure for him.
And that poor guy. He was just angry and he became truly cute and happy. Him smiling at the top hat man before the gun is pulled almost made me cry.
Absolutely fantastic game and perfect representation of modern media and culture.
you sir get the message to the point. Congratulations i showed this to my friends and they didn't care you have a BRAIN and understood the message. Thank you so much
In my opinion, what made it worse is the fact that the bodies are cencored. We can only imagine what happend to the guy

Aside from the horrifically true social message, the games mechanic seems really unique- what if there was a similar game, but you chose what to show, and that effected what happens. Like this game but instead of one linear storyline you change it
Persona 2
I absolutely recommend Not For Broadcast, it expands on this mechanic a lot and is a really good game and story.
It exists in a game called Headliner
Circles didn't hate squares till the big box told them they did.
That is why you must always be wary of anybody who tells you to hate others.

Hey, just as an update, the game was ported to Steam. I don't know if it was a "legal" port, but the person who ported it said that they wanted the flash game to be playable from here on out despite the Flash collapse, so if anyone wants to play, or if you wish to recommend it to someone despite Flash being defunct, there is a free Steam version now.

Probably
The two at the end watching the graves is such a sad moment. The fact that this is the only ending is kind of depressing
I just wish you could get people to listen to the two guys vainly trying to stop the hate. I really feel bad for them.
Actually, they did succeed. The happy square who was shot was the disgruntled, crazed square who started the cycle of paranoia. They got the square to stop being mad and be positive instead. The problem is that the media feels that people don't want to watch a feel good story about people learning to get along. Instead they'd rather keep the cycle of pain going, so in the end nobody is willing to listen to the happy heart hats.
The game could have had an alternate ending. I tried not to react and let the violent square become happy without starting the paranoia, but that is not possible. Maybe there is something that triggers it without starting paranoia.
GrimFaceHunter the point is to teach us, not give a good ending. you need the truth every once in a while, not a sugar-coated happily ever after, you know what i mean?
Animator X I don't think you understood me.
The possibility of changing the outcome gives the player more agency. People might learn more that way.
Ishtarru Humans will never get over their ignorant, self righteous, petty and downright appalling natures. If so then we would have had peace ages ago, but nope it only gets worse, just look at the Trump and Hillary supporters attacking each other.
I was hoping I wouldn't be remembering this game, but it proves how accurate it sadly is to this day.
Pretty much why I’m here
Chad Cooley same here
Same. Worse I got this in my recommended and I remember watching it for the first time and comparing then to now

go away where...?
The scariest part is that the circle in the hat who shot the square was the circle from the beginning. The circle whose photo was captured praising him and influenced others to wear hats. And he shot the square who started off screaming at others. Whose photo was taken to instill fear into others. The one painted in a positive light turned out evil, and the one painted as a maniac changed his ways. The media never really shows us who people truly are, does it?

This game represents the media and this is how powerful media can really go. Hatred, discrimination, war and fake news. We shouldn't blame the media for it. We should blame the people in it. "Evil people makes evil catastrophes"
...That seems contradictory. If the media is the one that makes the power, then why would the people in it be the driving issue?
@@strangevol5264 They're the ones who create and publish news that may influence the mind of the other viewers in the first place.
( and what I actually meant at the comment section is the people BEHIND the media lol )
@@katieeelin6633aren’t they just doing their jobs though ? I feel like the message is more just don’t hate
@@myprofilepictureisafish The people in the media deliberately pick out the stories that will drum up the most amount of interest in their viewer base and make it as inflammatory as possible because they need their viewers to be outraged or scared so that they will keep tuning in and listening to the media group's agendas.
Like look how in the game the media words the incidents, where it is worded in a way that either exaggerates situations (like labelling the square who was screaming as attacking a circle, despite the square only yelling at the circle and the circle not being a particularly important part to the story), ignores happy things happening, or straight up lies about what is happening (like when they say that squares hate circles when only one guy was screaming at people).

StygianTraveler141 I get the top hat and nail club
The fact that taking pics of positive stuff did NOTHING (other than initially priming you to click, via the guy in the hat,) really makes the message rather... simplistic.
that's true, there could have been a way to stop it from escalating - but i think then you'd be confused as to what the game was supposed to be, when nothing ever happened in the game!
Simplistic, sure, but that’s the point. It’s such an obvious point that has been going on as long as media and news has existed, and it’s sadly as true as ever.

Brighton Betoit ,The best part of his play through was the fact that he is wanting to make the world a better place. …And we all can do that right here.
Wow.... I didn't expect a message like that to come from a game like this. o-o But when you think about it it's 100% true. Not to be cheesy or anything, but as Yoda said, "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." and indeed it fucking does. I think we've all seen that come to fruition just with this last election cycle. :/ But that's why it's important to be as positive as possible and spread as much hope and joy in the world as you can.
Jace Gem Very wise, you are young one. In your hands the best future lies XD
Jace Gem I don't see the point of anger. When has it led to good things?
Well, if it's used right it CAN lead to good things... Like the Civil Rights Movement in the 60s. Folks of color were angry and tired of being treated the way they were being treated, but they were never violent with their anger. They just used it to fuel their point and get what they wanted and deserved, equality to whites. But I see your point, a lot of the time anger just leads to violence and that does no one any good.
While I disagree with Yoda that he confuses causation with correlation (a result of... FEAR), I will say that self-fulfilling prophecies do exist, and the media is one of those prophets.
Then again, there are two ways to interpret this.
Notice how the news network aired every picture you took, the problem was that the people only showed up when it was a negative story.
Maybe the message here is to look out for positive things
I wish this game had more endings. Like sure we get the message but i think itd be funny to see just the squares hate on each other or the people panicking over a cricket invasion.
Strange how everyone's saying how "relevant this is to current culture" considering this sort of attention has been cycled through for years and years. People may not be able to bring it up from memory, I know I can't, but things like the Red Scare and general trends of "be scared, be angry" have been around far longer than we'd like to know. History repeats itself, again and again and again. We're out of new plotlines, we just recycle ones we already did with new characters to call the villains.
ppl are just saying that now because they think it gives them a reason to shit on the blm movement tbh
@@fern4753 ... I think it was much more general than the BLM movement. Mind Jan 6th. A lot of people were fully up the hole of “man, wild how things were allowed this time with minimal violence.”
While some backbit that as if those folks were claiming every protest should be synonymous with riot, the point (that apparently needed to be said, and was) was that escalation doesn’t _help_ any one side, and that those promoting it in _any_ group are... well, basically, the man with the gun, in this.
Whatever he got out of it goes unsaid (in real life, because it varies), but... hell, a phrase that’s been going around the past several months (that I’ve seen, for all I know it’s been around way longer) goes “so and so really just woke up today and chose Violence.” As a society, we’ve been holding tight to “story need CONFLICT” with a deathgrip, and keep going for the lowest of hanging fruit.

@@TacticalDolphin362 damn right you are
Im curious why the one who started the killing was not just an angry circle...but a posh calm circle.....
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Stole his hat thunder?
Maybe it symbolizes how the big stuff and the stupefying stuff kind of comes out of nowhere. Think about it: before someone shoots up a school, no one knows who you are, and no one cares. Then, as soon as you commit the heinous act, every good deed you have ever accomplished up to that point fades away. Even in the game, the "posh" circle just started a trend, but chances are, no one will remember that because he shot someone. That's my first theory. My second theory is that the "posh" circle symbolizes the sweet kid from down the street that always had the best grades and a good personality and was the last person you'd expect to do something like that.
Perhaps because he was the only one who realized where the problem originated? The happy square guy he killed was the angry square that started the hatred cycle in the beginning. The square guy became happy after he talked to the happy couple but he was still the origin of the hatred. He clearly changed as a person but the negative things he did in his past still had a huge negative impact on the people that surrounded him which eventually spread to even more people. Perhaps the "calm guy" is representative of people with warped logic. A smart individual that knows all the information about the situation but had a very twisted/biased view which caused them to to develop narrow minded solutions that only made the situation worse (aka killing a reformed individual for their past mistake). The "posh" look was probably to make the character stick out and showcase him as an intellectual (or a person that views themselves as intellectual anyways). "Smart" people have seriously suggested -and literally done- mass bombings or killings in the past (and present actually) to resolve issues just as meaningless as the one in the game - being a circle versus a square.
I think it's because the other shapes didn't do what they did because of hate; they did what they did because they were angry. They did what they did because they were afraid. The posh circle, likely a rich individual in this shape community, could afford to kill a shape not out of necessity, but out of pure unbridled HATRED.
All these comments are too deep for me. You people are too smart.
The Gentleman really said, "It started with me, and its gonna end with me."

….. 6 years later and this is still the most accurate thing right now
Who knew that this game would almost accurately predict 2019’s political climate in the USA?
Ze Filthiest Of Franks honestly. Like, it isn’t just one side even, it’s both sides doing the damage without realizing it. Both sides just hate each other so much and are growing so polarized that the majority of people(non extremists) are being forced to choose a side.
Property it doesn’t help that the man the Oval Office is acting as a catalyst for this and the rest of the GOP won’t take a stand against him even as he breaks their core values. Republicans have left the party because of it, some have decided that they don’t want to run for office again because of him and what he stands for. Doesn’t help that the younger members of the Democratic Party want to pull more to the left in response to everything but when they’re citizens and told to go back to their countries you can’t blame them for it. The Dems need to quit these impeachment proceedings (in a perfect world the things he has done are impeachable offenses) because the Republican Party and it’s members are too much of a pussy to oust the man who has caused a constitutional crisis and will continue to do so even if he gets voted out of office. We have a half a Democratic Party that wants to pass policy, another half that wants to go through impeachment hearings, and the whole Republican Party so busy trying to keep him in office they won’t pass any policy (see how they struck down a cyber security bill to protect our voting infrastructure) and a man in the Oval Office tearing the country apart and with it, our reputation across the world and even within our country
@@khub5660 considering that this game is all about how media influences us to think and feel certain ways with selective reporting, I'd say you're a classic example of this exact scenario.
If the talking heads say "Orange man bad" enough times, it must be true, right?
OneBiasedOpinion if you reread what I said, I’m actually talking about the current political landscape from both points of view with a slight slant towards the left. The Republicans are never going to oust one their own no matter what because then they won’t be unified as a party. It’s sad because if a Democrat did what he and his campaign team did the Republicans would be outraged and calling for their head. Everyone involved in the Trump campaign fell with the exception of Trump because of the fact that it is against Justice Department policy to indict a sitting president, and for good reason. He is our president no matter what until he gets removed from office or voted out. Take this into consideration as well, people like Nunes have been spinning and twisting the events in this country to fit their own narrative as well, so it’s not like either side is innocent of this but when a “(what used to be) respectable and prominent news channel turns into a propaganda channel, that’s an issue and I don’t care which side of the aisle does it, it’s still a problem. This week I was ashamed to call myself an American because of the simple fact that the majority party, the Republicans, said no on protecting what makes a democracy a democracy, our voting institution. And that’s not what a talking head said, that is what happened on Capitol Hill this week even in light of new evidence that showed that other countries have attacked and will attack our voting infrastructure again. Both sides of the aisle are guilty of spinning the narrative to fit them but when it comes down it, the majority party still isn’t doing anything to move this country forward and the minority party can’t pull themselves together to try to force them to focus on policy instead of defending the presidents tweets

Damn, this message was so strong. Would love to see more people's reaction to the game and it's message. Makes you really open your eyes on what's going on in our world.
I completely agree. The hard part about this game is that it points out a truth and the people that wish to do good in the world, the protesters of love, are ignored and can only witness the destruction. And like the camera told the player, "peace is boring" to the media. We need to come up with some kind of solution, as Mark says at the end. If we could somehow make the media and audiences cheer for the positive stuff that happens rather than glorify the terrible acts, then we could create a happier environment.
Not all politicians and corporations can be bad people. There has to be some that believe the same thing and want the best for everyone, but somehow feel limited or powerless. And if that is the case, then we the people should make a stance to change who is in power or not watch and follow the media that only perpetuates hate.
True.
but saying all that it only takes one or two isolated incidents that get blown up to sway public opinion as the old saying goes a few bad apples spoils the bunch and that doesn't just apply to corporations

This game should be renamed to,
"American media and its effects on society"
*"The World media and its effect on society"
I think the name is fine, as long as the message is clear enough.
XOLiD but that's not nearly as catchy
It's a two way street.
The media pushes the kind of stories that circulate the fastest/make the loudest splash. People give their attention to those stories and continue the cycle.
Everyone likes to bash on the media these days, but they always, always forget that the reason media is the way it is, is because of us. Without us giving negativity our undivided attention, the media has no incentive to keep pushing that facet of life.
But we do give it our attention. From shitty gossip tabloids to demagogues that preach hate and fear, we are drawn to that shit. It's in our nature.
At this point, I don't think we, as we currently exist, can ever break the wider population from that cycle. I think it's just going to keep repeating itself time and time again.

This game does an excellent job in portraying this issue, and presents an angle that even people within this comment section fail to see. There are several noting what this says about News Media, but that completely misses the point. Never does it reference media corporations, but rather references us, the people on the internet.
Notice that it does not use headlines, but hashtags. Furthermore, as it comes to a close, it shows that this has been us, on our laptop, the entire time. In trying to find something to go viral, we have created a problem that never was there to begin with. We did not even have to say anything, just picked and chose what parts of their world to show them. It must be noted, however, that there is also some responsibility to be placed on the characters in the game for the scenario that arises, as it is them who do or do not view your images.
This is precisely what the title of the game says. In responding primarily to inflammatory images, these characters have guided you to set those images. In setting these images, you have guided the characters to live in these images.
It is a responsibility carried by all parties to be conscious of what we show and how we show it, as well as what we respond to and how we respond.
Well said, my good sir.
I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Quite ironic, isn't it? Claiming of a problem which was never there to begin with, only to assist in making the problem a reality.
@@aleyssu It is

That moment when he pulls out the gun, everyone stops
They’re probably realizing what they caused
Yeah man
It's the moment they realized they have passed a point of no return.
I showed by friends this game, and the look on their faces where absolutely priceless. It took a bit for them to figure out how to play, but it was worth it.
a camera, the most powerful weapon on earth
tali skyrim actually, the pen
The pen isn't very powerful anymore since people get their news from what people record on cameras.
abc zyx but i has no phone.
tali skyrim no..the most powerful weapon are words...
We may have finally discovered something mightier than the pen....
The media in a nutshell.
Thats the point
Naaaaah.
Totally wasn't the point at all.
Of course, the point is, it's pointless.
The point of the pointlessness is that it's pointless.
I thought the title was an over exaggeration… Oh boy was I wrong also I cried when they killed the friendly little square
MARK Williams I didn't cry but I didn't want RUclips for five hours
This game traumatized me when I was younger mainly because of what happened at 4:26 😭
Mark kept saying, "square/circle hates square/circles." They headline reads, " squares/circles hate squares/circles." The headline is grouping every circle to hate every square. It makes everything black and white. There is no grey area.
This game feels like it kinda “predicted” the year 2020
Wow... I didn’t think I could feel worse about the situation lol. But seriously you’re right instead of talking about it being a thing though though we should be trying to stop it or something idk.
Is it the second coming of the "Simpsons"????
No, it predicted every year.
The fuck has this got to do with 2020 specifically
@@jibbythehippy3371 Did you forget about 2016?
i like the message, but when the game started i thought it was going to be one of those evolutionary things, where you take a picture of interesting things, and others start doing them, it would have been nice to see more factions of "people" in the game with different characteristics and "personalities" ... lol still, i like the message, the game is simple, clear, and powerful!
Trenton Streator interestingly enough I felt the same way.
-samsara- same
Trenton Streator i like the game as well but it just told us how the future of America will be if we don't heed the warning and change
Trenton Streator I wish you could broadcast peace but because a lot of people tune more into violence, make it so that peaceful stories influence less people than violent stories.
5 years later.
Still accurate as hell
this is how todays media works
TheElitesnake1 yep
>Today's media
As if the media was ever NOT like this.
nenolink Congrats on completely missing the point of the game and perpetuating the hate!
Especially as people find violence "funny." I can assure you someone most likely laughed at the murders but not at the scene where the friends shared happiness. Like alot of "Roasting" channels. Even when the message is shoved in your face and baby spooned into you,you still don't get it. And we'll never achieve that with todays media. Especially with trump haters. I just saw someone push a cameraman and say idiot to them. Violence shocks more,and saying they'll get back on the topic is saying "Watch us now and forever!" It's sad.
HAHA ISN'T IT FUNNY? Your name blends with your comment
5:39
turn captions on... my goodness
I mean at least the pain stopped
Fucking... good god. That is horrifying.
Oh fuck that sounds worse than mass extinction of humans race by race
That caption writer is a genius
Holy shit indeed mark
Well this became pretty poignant, one man unjustly killed has already led to multiple deaths while the media continues to enjoy the revenue it gains from supporting social society
Bruh he overdosed
It wasn't just one man, it was way more people too and George Floyd's death had finally gotten people to wake up.
Austin Burns are you stupid?
@@aestheticidiot3742 no. There is actual evidence the Media never tells you. Dude they are calling it PEACEFUL protests but people are dying and divided both sides. The death of Floyd was only a way for the media to spread anger. Why? Because it got more publicity. More publicity? More money. More money? More people divided. Then it cycles back. No matter what. If you say BLM or whatever, you cannot deny the media wants us to kill each other. To die in exchange for more money. Democrats gaining more votes for the office for blatantly lying. Vilifying not just the police force but every white person. Yes there are some bad whites and good whites. Bad blacks and good blacks. But now its Racism all over again....and nobody will win
@@aestheticidiot3742 Dude, we saw from the body cam footage that he said he couldn't breathe before he was even on the ground, also the medical examiner found that he already had a lethal dose of Fentanyl in his system that would have killed him anyway.
7 years later and this is the most accurate thing right now
Rewatching this in 2020 as it showed up in my recommendation, is saying something about the current year.
You want likes, everyone is commenting this, stfu
Austin Burns your acting like that’s gonna do something 💀
@@austinburns9480 how do you know they want likes? What if they're just speaking their mind?
@Austin Burns you just proven his point as to why life currently sucks
All because of a guy wearing a top hat...
Oli Octipi
More or less because of the mad square
The hat guy didn’t have anything to do with that
That One Guy the top hat guy brung out a gun,shot a square, and started the war....what do u mean he had nothing to do with it?!??!?!!
Oli Octipi Yeah.
And that's how the mafia came to be.
I doubt he was being serious. I'm pretty sure he's playing the role of the media and how they seem to spin things a lot. "It's not the fault of the rich man with everything he could possibly want who killed people and sparked lots of violence and death, it's the fault of the random guy who might not be completely alright in the head who actually loves people and doesn't want to hurt them and was just having a bad day!"
I noticed that positive things were blown off as uninteresting... I've done that to other things... Just wow.
Edward Izquierdo that's how the news is these days
They are uninteresting, would you rather what cruise missile strikes or a protest
*watch not what
The Lieutenant personally I would rather watch more stories about the positive aspects of life.
The Lieutenant I would rather watch the “people saving other people” compilations.
Have fun, six years ago. It only gets worse from there.
I remember watching this first time and my heart sank when it went to that scene ._. Just goes to show how society can be portrayed so simplistic yet so surreal
When I saw the gentleman, it was the second time so I was like "Sweet I can make hats cool again." I took the picture but it said hats still weren't cool, and then he shot the square rocker dude. :(
I thought the exact same. "Yay, hats will be cool again. Everything will be alright... Oh no..."
"Who Tunes in to watch *people get along*?"
"I dO!"
*gasp* I have to tell you that bakugo dies in mha
This is an accurate depiction of the 2016 Presidential race.
GalvatronVGC L
GalvatronVGC This is an accurate deciption of pretty much every conflict created by humans throughout the past few centuries.
It's an accurate depiction of post-election, too
Thomas Keane
sadly
This is an accurate depiction of 2016 all together
The prolonged silence at 4:27 was both deafening and impenetrable. It's kind of impressive, really.
This is scary because this is what's happening in the world now.
Last time I checked, people weren’t killing each other in a fearful rage
Also people aren’t that dumb this is overdramatized
@@alolamao833 we will tho. We will.
Alolamao the message went way over your head lmfao
Alolamao this happened in the 90’s when blacks were being murdered by whites because blacks were deemed dangerous and not one of ‘them’ so out of fear white people would make blacks less than what they were and would also murder them.
the killing is when the collapse happens
The best part had to be Marks reaction the Hat Guy pulling out the gun.
Uh oh.
At least it was a, dare I say, dapper death?
anthony sunseri it's Destiny!
The Camera: One of the most powerful tools of destruction to ever be created.
BecauseICan Use it for *POWER*
Mudkip Owasaka y u commenting on this old vid?
BecauseICan it wasn't always used as a weapon of mass destruction, but the media weaponized it.
They use teh camera to viral stupid thingsss
so is the written word. Wield both the pen and the camera properly lest true chaos be unleashed.
The escalation is beautiful. First the game shows how the news can be influential with the hats. Then you can see how this influence can be harmful with the couple. Then you see a random crazy square, and it shows how sensationalism itself is harmful. Then a circle believes all squares are like this because, well, the news made it look like all squares are like this. And then the snowball begins.
I see so many people on tik tok who try to spread awareness on a serious topic, and they ALWAYS say "stop scrolling I need your attention" or they clickbait people into seeing their biased, unreliable news to get people angry. I'm upset how the general media has become a political battlefield lately. There are so many rightists and leftists fighting and it makes me so sad.
The way to win this game now is to not play, no matter who thinks theyre right, because that way of thinking where youre not even willing to listen to the other side because youre so confident youre right will only spark more hatred, and there is a boiling point. Best not to make someone mad before a fight breaks eh?
“lately”
Reasons I stopped watching the news because Im sick of the political bull going on. We are/were perfectly fine many get along...but the media recently they dont give you both sides to the story they give you one side then SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT. I'm tired of it. Aren't we supposed to have the ability to give our own opinions on the matters at hand? Everyone has different opinions but you dont have to be close minded about them. What's been going on has been purposely dividing people apart more then uniting them together. I'm just... tired of it...
@@rainbowocean5075 The world seems more polarized than before because the stakes are higher than ever before. We are dealing with more potentially species-ending threats than we ever have in our existence; are we to merely sit back and not be angry with the people who repeatedly deny the truths of these things?
The problem isn't the anger and the hatred. The problem is the root cause: The greed of those in power, and the ignorance of those they seduce. Polarization is simply a symptom of those root causes.
To say, "Why can't we all just get along?" is to ignore the very real issues people fight for: LGBTQ+ rights, global warming, poverty, and more. People argue about these things because they are important, and compromise is what got us into this mess in the first place.
To ignore politics is to ignore your responsibility as a human being and a citizen. As the saying goes, "We live in a society." There are news outlets that are less biased than the mainstream CNN, Fox, etc. Outlets like the AP, Reuters, and BBC are all excellent sources of information.
Do not shirk your civic duty because you fear polarization. Humanity is at a fork in the road, and at least one of the roads ends in certain doom. Do not regret not taking a side.
This is not a New Phenomenon we just don't remember. The media has always been a plase where people debate Political stuff.
I feel that certain people should play this game to see what the world has come to. I'm not going to say who, but they need to play it. This shows what media has done to form our society. This game developer has gone deep, to show what is wrong with our world.
It brings me to tears to think of what people have to go through everyday. This shows it. That media can make or break our society. I may be repeating a lot, but I mean it. A single person could cause hell on Earth. Like the game shows.
Spread the word. We Become what we Behold.
* Mic drop*
To be fair its about more than the media It's about religion, politics, the sexes, veganism,racism and everything else.
Celestial gaming If anybody has actually played the game, is there actually a way to get a good ending or no?
RealMartialNova So you blame the people being easily captivated by such things, but not the people who intentionally use this fact of human nature for personal profit, regardless of the consequences?
You seem to be forgetting that the news media nowadays isn't an innocent messenger. It's littered with bias and agenda no matter where you look, and for pretty much any side of any issue you can think of. Sure, the susceptibility for people to get carried away with these things doesn't help, but it also wouldn't be as much of a problem if media outlets weren't so agenda-driven. There's blame to be shared across the board.
Also, the way you portray it, the two in red in this game do not exist in reality. And I have to call bullshit there if that's something you intended to imply.
Celestial gaming yea we'll deal with it we all have to to

What amazes me is how many people realise this.
What amazes me is how many people commented about it.

Are still being manipulated like the circles and squares,
And aren't thinking outside the television.

not all Christians but I do see where your coming from (the crusades) was the start
